Information meeting on the European ITN call for proposals

In anticipation of the closing of the ITN call for proposals under the Horizon 2020 program on January 9, 2020, the PSL support service for partnership activity is organizing, in partnership with the MSCA national contact point, an information meeting for PSL researchers.

ITNs or Innovative Training Networks are white bottom-up programs, open to all disciplines, that fund collaborative, interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international projects. They aim to train a new generation of young researchers, creative, entrepreneurial and innovative, capable of facing current and future challenges and transforming knowledge and ideas into products and services for the benefit of the economy and society.

These projects take place over 4 years and fund doctoral grants and mobility between at least 2 or 3 beneficiary institutions. Each of the doctoral students participates in a scientifically consistent project, and common to the participating institutions. The success rate of the next call for proposals is expected to be higher than the 10.30% recorded during the last call, thanks to the increase in the budget allocated in 2019 (€525 million instead of 470 million in 2018).
